Cross Stitch My Heart

I went out last week to karaoke. I sang "Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie. Apparently I was okay!

Looking very plain and simple (to me anyway)
I'm Fat, Let's Party shirt: Seibei
Cotton biker jacket: Ebay
Skirt: Big W
Tights: We Love Colors
Boots: Dr Martens

It was both of my coworkers birthdays today. We work in a team of three, and they really help me along in my job. One of them was turning 50, so it was a big deal. I decorated her table, with the help of my other coworker. I organised a lunch at the University tavern for the whole group. I also baked a HUGE amount of my brownies.

Her desk after we were finished! I photoshopped her head onto a Sookie and Eric picture from True Blood (I don't watch the series)
 
My presents to them were a box of brownies each, and a cross stitch!
Game of Thrones dragon cross stitch for my coworker turning 50. I did the dragon green because I wanted to keep it like Daenerys Targaryen's dragons.
 
I made this for my other coworker, he is a nerd and has a man crush on Robert Downey Jr.
 
What was really nice is that they got me a box of chocolates!! I don't know why, but they said that they knew I was going all out for their birthday and that I deserved something.

  3. You make great birthday presents! No wonder they gave you chocolates!

    May I ask, with your job, did you have your awesome hair when you got it or did you gradually bring it in? How do you deal with dressing for work? I finish my degree this year, and I like to dress like I'm from the Victorian era, and I am interested in input from anyone about how that might go down in the library workplace. Thanks.

    I dont't remember it what was the last time i did cross stich, but it used to help me spend time, i really need to go back to it, it's kind of therapeutic don't you think?

  6. The avengers cross stitch is a really neat gift!
    I don't think your look is plain; simple yes, but plain... far from it! ;)
